Sounds as though Hillary is being anointed for 2016.

[No Elephants]

No sooner was Susan Rice's name withdrawn from consideration for Secretary of State than Kerry, who rarely endorse anyone in a primary, endorsed Markey and Markey was otherwise treated as the inevitable Democratic nominee, even though about six Democrats ran in the primary for the special election that Brown won.

If Lynch, the only Democrat who ha declared he will be running in the primary were not such a blue dog, I would vote for him simply because the PTB seem to have decided that the primary vote of Democrats is an afterthought.

And now, we are hearing about Hillary running in 2016 and how Biden won't run if she does and he knows he can't beat her, etc. Ed Rendell was on Hardball last night calling her a rock star, etc. Rachel Maddow called her a rock star last night too. (As we all remember, "rock star" was what we kept hearing about Obama in 2008.)

My email has been full of requests for me to tell Hillary how great she is and how grateful I am to her, etc. Instead, I've asked to be unsubscribed, even from Emily's List (which pains me).

Last time I looked, being registered as a Democrat in Massachusetts means I am supposed to have a say in Democratic primaries. Apparently, that has now become only a "right" to stand in line for the privilege of rubber stamping the primary selections of the Party's PTB.

I am changing my registration before November. Maybe Indie which, in Masachusetts, gives me the right to vote in any Party's primary.. Maybe Green. It may depend on how I feel once I get to City Hall.

1. I can understand your concerns......nt

2. Hillary annoints herself

via her gang of sycophants.

3. Probably more accurate. And probably true of all of them.

Hillary, having been in politics a very long time, either on her own or as Bill's wife probably has a larger camp right now than anyone besides Obama.

4. Back in 2007

my sainted mother (God rest her soul) was a huge Hillary fan. We actually had some heated discussions over my attempts to convert her to an Obama supporter. I feel bad about that now.

5. Don't feel bad. Bottom line, you were discussing important things with your mom.

And, all nomal moms just want a lot of contact with their kids.

Unless the kids are stealing from them, as has happened with the kid of a relative of mine. He has had a drug habit, a drinking problem, a jaws of life car accident and three kid out wedlock, but no job. So, he stole from his mom and grandmom.

I say that so you know that, ultimately, moms put things in perspective. I am sure your mom was proud of you and loved you very much. And that is all that really matters to a mom. I tell my son that as long as he stays healthy, off drugs and out of jail, I'll be a very happy mom. (I say that to him, knowing that he is overly-driven anyway and needs to lighten up, but that really is my bottom line.)

P.S. You are lucky to have had your mom so long. Mine died young.
